    Yeah, I spoke too soon. :(
    If you've come to the forums to complain about the AFK system, it's known to be bugged at the moment.

    II just with there was a option to add fur to the aliens (after buying Caitian or Ferassan option of couse) I prefer Tigers over Lions. Although it wouldn't be so bad if they had more options for hair styles.

    You and about 10,000 Furries and Caitian/Ferasan lovers. I would LOVE to make my White Tiger character SOOO bad!

    Stay away from Tequila, IMO. Unless you're playing a Klingon.

    It is true. 'Tequila' is the Klingon word for 'water'.
    I remain empathetic to the concerns of my community, but do me a favor and lay off the god damn name calling and petty remarks. It will get you nowhere.
    I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

    Quick update, being told it is a general network issue in one of our datacenters. The network engineers are working on it. They have not given me an ETA yet other than they will give me an update soon. So I can't give an ETA to you yet.

    Well, potentially good news there is that if it's "only" a "general network issue", the servers and supporting apps may all still currently be up and awaiting connections, so perhaps no additional 3 hour wait to bring everything back up from scratch.

    Now - that I understand. It seems datacenters in VA, ATL, CA are having issues outside of Cryptic. Not sure where your datacenters are though. Best of luck... :)

    Well, given that its New Years eve, I wouldnt be surprised if someone was TRIBBLE around with people. Hackers have been rather active the last few weeks. Sony and Microsoft servers got hit so everyone ran to their PCs, could be PS4/XB1 attacking the PC's to make people come back to their consoles ;P

    It's a New Year's Eve tradition at Cryptic to pour champagne onto the login server. The electricity arcing from employee to employee never ceases to entertain onlookers. They always get a charge out of it.

    The server is down, it has been a while for that to happen so they have done well considering it is a full time job to keep any windows server running consistently. What I have to laugh about is the launcher fails and says to check my internet connection or call tech support. well clearly my internet connection is fine but "tech support"? I don't think Cryptic has such a department and if they do it must be like section 31. You'll never find them. I have never seen a way to contact tech support. closest thing is submit an online ticket that they tell you will never get personal reply.

    steam would be a better target, arc is in the minority, not a worth while target

    Is this part of the data center being down? My internet works just fine for the looks of everything, what I get for getting off work early and planing on spending my New Years Eve with Q...:D.
    Positive thoughts.

    Do they not employ people whos only job is community management? Can they not be on call and work from home for these types of situations to communicate with the community on a big gaming day like today?

    New years eve is one of the biggest gaming days of the year. I save posting items on the AC for days like today because of the higher demand for goods. It appears that this new years eve is going to be a total waste. Just someone letting us know that they are working on it, and giving us an ~ETA would be really great for their customer service, and shouldn't take someone who is not working on servers very long at all.... like 5 min.

    True and a post was issued @ 205
    So sadly, we don't really have an ETA.

    Everyone hates the game, and no one wants to play it on the forums

    Game goes down and everyone losses their minds

    Little bitty concern about a single data center taking everything down for as long as it has... What happened to the secondary data center being spun up? Or you have all your eggs in one single data center?
